Rosie the "Ripper" 05-12-2011 01:35 PM

After seeing all the organized and clean quilting rooms I decided to stop working with my fabrics and just clean and organize. I can't stand it any longer. I am hereby swearing to you that I will not touch a project until the mess is cleaned up. This will take some time since my sewing area is in the basement., Actually, it's the whole basement, but I am determined to just do it!

Well, since I am confessing, I still have Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter decorations that have to be put back in the tubs they came out of. They are all down in the basement,too!! Do you think I will dig myself out by the 4th of July????

Now that I have laid myself and my soul out there for all to see, I had better get busy. Looks like we will be having "take out" tonight!
Wish me luck.

Use a timer, set it for 15 min and then work on a project. Set it for 15 min and work on something different, you won't get bored and you will be surprised how much you get accomplished.I donated decorations I wasn't using and got my decoration shelves in the basement organized. I just have to drop the boxes at goodwill now and it is complete.

After you get it organized and cleaned, you will be surprised how much more you can get done. It does need to be done from time to time. I call it re-grouping.. It helps you to see ALL the stuff we have. Then a person can really "go to town" with the quilting...

I finally had to make a rule; I will not start a new project until I put away everything from the project I just finished. I work better when I can everything. My sewing area still looks a mess to a non sewer but at least I know where everything is in all of the piles.

guilty?? I thought a 'well used' sewing room meant I was CREATING in there! I'm proud of my mess!
